Austin + Matt | Kapaau Intimate Wedding on the Big Island, HAWAII
Austin + Matt reached out to me on the first day of this year to capture their engagement. We met up and had an incredible time, with me and Austin especially bonding because she too is a photographer!
They eventually had to fly back to California and it wasn’t until a few month ago that Austin contacted me again about capturing their small wedding at their future house in Hawaii! Yes they were moving out of California and settling on the Big Island after all! I of course said yes and was so honored to be hired again by this beautiful couple.
So wondering what an intimate wedding day can look like? Whitley and Sean booked me for two hours and it was enough time for getting ready, ceremony, family pictures and also galavanting around with their gorgeous puppy Valentine.
I love spending a good hour with my couples as they get ready. Austin + Matt had all their beautiful details laid out and ready for me to arrange when I arrived at their home.
If you have a Pinterest board, lay it on me. Anything is possible to create your unforgettable day.
It was so heartwarming to see the bridal couple be surrounded by their family and friends that flew in for their wedding. And it being their first home in Hawaii , we obviously had to get those iconic shots of Matt carrying Austin through the threshold. I wish those two only the best and I can’t wait for all our future puppy play dates !!
PROFESSIONAL. TALENTED. SWEET.
We had an intimate wedding on our property and B was a wonderful addition to our special day. I’m in the photography business so i was super excited about my wedding photos and worked hard to find the right person for the wedding.
Communication:
she responded to my initial inquiry email immediately. She was in touch a couple weeks before, the day before, and the morning of. Any time I texted, called, IG direct messaged- she was promp and professional and very sweet in her responses.
Professionalism: her contract and payment was clear, fair, easy to understand, and easy to sign. She showed up on the day of looking beautiful and presentable, 15 minutes early. She has top of the line gear and handles her equipment as if it was an extension of her own body. The way she delivered the gallery was beautifully curate and easy to download onto my phone and laptop.

Artistry: 1000000/10. OMG. The images B captured were stunning. She is truly and artist. These photos mean the world to me. You too will love your photos if you book with her. They made all my Pinterest dreams come true. And this is unheard of: SHE DELIVERED ALL MY EDITED WEDDING PHOTOS THE NEXT DAY BEFORE NOON!!!! She must have went home and worked all night. I couldn’t believe it. Again, I am also a photographer and what she did in an evening would have taken me two weeks at least.
Price: she is very honest and open about her pricing. No hidden fees or extra add ons. She has it all priced on her inquiry page and she called me to answer any questions I had. She totally worked with me and my budget. I didn’t price around (I was set on using her!!) but I believe she is in the same ball park pricing as most other photographers in the area.
Other:
We wanted to go to a special spot away from the venue that we had to drive to- and unfortunately it started raining and we had to go to a different spot. I was initially bummed that my first idea didn’t work out, but once I got the photos I forgot all about it. It was a make it work moment and boy did she make it work!!
Overall- book this lady. You will be happy you did.
